"Trust in the Lord and Lean Not" and "Stand Up Inside and Be All In"- June 4, 2017

Suzi led our discussion of the April 2017 General Conference talks "Trust in the Lord and Lean Not" by Bonnie H. Cordon and "Stand Up Inside and Be All In" by Elder Gary B. Sabin

Leaps of Faith
There are many times in life when we must trust in the Lord's plan when we need to jump. We may have doubts and fear but we must move forward trusting we will be supported.

Elder Sabin says the Lord requires "our whole heart! When we are baptized, we are fully immersed as a symbol of our promise to fully follow the Savior, not half-heartedly. When we are fully committed and “all in,” heaven shakes for our good. When we are lukewarm or only partially committed, we lose out on some of heaven’s choicest blessings."

Elder Sabin warns: "When we are complacent with our covenants, we are complicit with the consequences."

Sister Cordon suggests way we can trust in the Lord:
*Feast on the words of christ
*Come to know the Lord and trust in him through prayer
*Serve others

Sisters were able to share many sacred stories of times when they had to trust in the Lord and were supported
